Abstract
Description
- The present application is based on, and claims priority from, Taiwan Application Serial Number 102138398, filed on Oct. 24, 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- The technical field relates to a biomedical composition.
- Anti-cancer drugs in a form presently available on the market all have a problem of relating to a low drug-release rate. Although a low drug-release rate can decrease the side effects of anti-cancer drugs, the therapeutic effect of the drug cannot be increased.
- Neovascularization of tumor tissue and inflammatory tissue is incomplete, and thus cell metabolic products cannot be easily excreted to a patient's circulatory system. Therefore, pH values of such tissues are lower than those of normal tissues, and are about 6.8-7.2. In addition, pH values of environments of endosomes and lysosomes in a cell are about 4.0-6.5, and if nano-carriers can be rapidly controlled to release a drug, the problem of low drug release rates among nano-carrier drugs can be solved. Furthermore, for some biotechnological drugs, such as peptides, proteins, and gene fragments, if this kind of drug is released from endosomes to cytoplasma, and is not transported to lysosomes, the activities of such drugs can be increased.
- Hyaluronic acid is a polymer of disaccharides, themselves composed of D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine. In the hyaluronic acid, D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine are linked via β-1,3 glycosidic bonds, while disaccharides are linked via β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Generally, molecular weights of hyaluronic acid range from 5,000 to 20,000,000 Da. Commercialized hyaluronic acid is usually in the form of sodium salt thereof, i.e. sodium hyaluronate.
- Natural hyaluronic acid is a water-soluble polymer, has excellent variable properties for being a drug carrier, such as bio-compatibility, non-immunogenicity, natural degradation by an enzyme in the body, having a lot of functional groups of —OH, —COOH and —CH, OH, etc., and capable of performing covalent modification. Therefore, according to the afore mentioned information, it is known that hyaluronic acid is able to be an excellent drug carrier.
- At present, a novel drug delivery system that has high bio-compatibility, and that can be designed to release a drug only in an appropriate environment, is needed.
- The disclosure provides a biomedical composition, comprising: a hyaluronic acid; a modified histidine; and a polymer or C4-C20 alkane, wherein the modified histidine and the polymer or C4-C20 alkane are grafted to at least one primary hydroxyl group of the hyaluronic acid to allow the hyaluronic acid to form a hyaluronic acid derivative, wherein a graft ratio of the modified histidine is about 1-100%, and a graft ratio of the polymer or C4-C20 alkane is about 0-40%.

After a pH value for the solution was determined, the solution was placed at −20° C. to freeze.
- (13) The water contained by the aqueous solution was removed through lyophilization to obtain a completely dry HA-g-(BocHis-co-C11), and the yield of the HA-g-(BocHis-co-C11) was 62%.
- A. Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC)
- When concentration of a material is higher than critical micelle concentration, the material will form micelles. Since pyrene has the property of being susceptible to the change of hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity in a micro-environment, when a micelle material has a concentration that is higher than the critical micelle concentration thereof, intensity of emitted fluorescent light from the pyrene will increase rapidly. In this example, according to the property of the pyrene mentioned above, the critical micelle concentration of the micelle material was determined. The testing methods are described in the following:
- Each test sample was formulated into a 1 mg/mL aqueous solution, and then each sample was formulated into 4.5 mL of aqueous solution at the following concentrations through 2× dilution based on the 1 mg/mL aqueous solution. The concentrations mentioned above, from lowest to highest, were (1) 0.00195 mg/mL; (2) 0.00391 mg/mL; (3) 0.00781 mg/mL; (4) 0.01563 mg/mL; (5) 0.03125 mg/mL; (6) 0.0625 mg/mL; (7) 0.125 mg/mL; (8) 0.25 mg/mL; (9) 0.5 mg/mL; and (10) 1 mg/mL. Then 15 μl of 1.8×10−4 M pyrene acetone solution was added to the ten sample solutions, mixed well, and then allowed to stand until the next day. After that, the sample solutions were vacuum pumped at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the acetone to evaporate. After that, the intensity of emitted fluorescent light from the pyrene was measured to determine the critical micelle concentration of the test sample.
- For a determination of fluorescent intensity, an excitation wavelength was set at 339 nm and an emission wavelength at 360-500 nm, and intensity of emission light at maximum emission wavelength Imax (namely, I379 nm) was plotted against log value of material concentration to obtain the critical micelle concentration of the material.

- The critical micelle concentration of the hyaluronic acid derivative grafted with Boc-histidine and C11H23 obtained above, HA16k-g-(45% BocHis-co-12% C11) material, was determined through the method mentioned above.
- Critical micelle concentration of the HA16k-g-(45% BocHis-co-12% C11) material at pH 7.4 and 5.0 were 0.12 and 0.18 mg/mL, respectively (see Table 4). Furthermore, the foregoing result showed that the micelle structure of the HA16k-g-(45% BocHis-co-12% C11) material is unstable in an acid environment, and that is consistent with the preceding result.

- The HA16k-g-40% BocHis material was dissolved in PBS buffers of
pH 8, pH 7.4, pH 6.5,pH 6 and pH 5. Next, pyrene was added to the above-mentioned PBS buffers containing the HA16k-g-40% BocHis material, respectively, mixed well, and then allowed to stand. After that, the obtained solutions were filtered through a 0.45 μm filtering membrane and allowed to stand for 3 hours.
